Except that we don't know anything of the order when we extract
Packages/Sources files. We do extract debian/control of the source package
but it's just to make it available to users currently. There's no
post-processing of that file for further uses...

It should be doable since we extract it as well. Added to my TODO (Andrew,
if you want to take care of it, feel free!). It's just a matter a adding
the long_description attribute (and factorizing in a @cached_property the
logic to identify the underlying binary package to use).
